I have been a fish guy for many years, and this is the first time I have had this issue. My fish are starting to die one by one. Nitrite, Nitrate, Ammonia, PH, all is well. It is a 75 gallon tank. I currently have: (1)Bala Shark (down from 3) (1)Jack Dempsey (Had 2, the smaller one died)...

I just looked at my Cory, and one of its whiskers appears to be swollen. If I can get a good picture, I will post it.

So I have been pretty lucky when it comes to algae. There is virtually no algae in my tank. Not sure if I have to thank my plwco for that or not. Anyway, I feed him an algae wafer every night before bed. Usually when I wake up, its gone. The past few nights, it looks like he hasn't even touched...

So I have a Bio Wheel 350, which has dual wheels on it. I have cleaned the cartridges in tank water, but can I do the same with the wheels? If I'm not mistaken, that is where all of the beneficial bacteria sits, I do not want to have to recycle my tank. It is finally stable in all parameters...

The picture is kinda crappy, bit the fish is so small I can't get a clear shot. I think its a guppy, but not to sure. I have three other baby guppies in the tank. In the picture, you can see it next to the power cord of the heater so you can see how tiny it is.

So my water is kinda dirty. Its perfectly clear, there just seems to be stuff floating everywhere. I am thinking I may need to clean my cartridges. Any thoughts? Also, tank is cycled. Ammonia and nitrite ate at 0. Haven't tested the nitrate in a while. Stuff is floating even after a few days of...

He's been really aggressive towards the other fish and I'm thinking he might have ich. Phone won't let me attach a pic, I will try again in a little bit.

No matter what I feed it. Doesn't eat. Hasn't eaten since I got it on Saturday. I'm kind of concerned. Tried romaine lettuce, shrimp, and pellets. Not sure what else.

My girlfriend and I just picked up a red eared slider. I don't think we got the proper lighting. We got a uvb light rated at 5, and one of those red heat lamps. Do we leave both lights on at the same time, or only the red heat one on at night. What is the proper lighting cycle for this guy.

So my girlfriend went and got me a couple of fish. I know, she's a sweetheart. Anyway, one of the Panda corys she got me is acting sick. She only bought 3 instead of the school of 6 there should be. She bought them from the local fish shop and not the chain stores. He kinda just sits in one...

Not sure if this should go into the hardware section or not. My tank is fully cycled. I have a Marineland Penguine 350 on my 29 gallon tank. I am using the 2 cartridges that came with it. I never added to two additional that it has room for. Should I add the other two, or does it not matter...

It seems like my fish are kind of lethargic. They just kind of hide out in one spot in the tank. If I walk past, they shoot to the other side, and then back to thier little spot. They are gold tetras. I have the water temp set at about 80. My water parameters are as follows: PH: 8.0 (Nothing I...

May sound silly, but can both occur simultaneously? I thinks that happening to my BN pleco. His fins are rotting away and has white spots. Pretty lethargic. Also, my gold tetras have red on their tails. They don't look normal. I am still cycling my tank, but I wanted to do it without losing any...

After doing a 50% water change, it doesn't seem to have helped. My ammonia stayed the same but my Nitrite jumped to .50. Prior to the water change, they were both reading at .25, hence the reason for the water change. Is prime causing the higher readings?

SO I was thinking of adding a cleanup crew to my tank. It is not stocked yet, but soon. Here is my Stock List: 5 x Gold Tetra 1 x Bristlenose Pleco 5 x Cardinal Tetra 2 x Cockatoo Apisto I already have the Pleco and the Gold Tetra's. I was thinking shrimp or cories, or do the two do...

So I have thought some more about my stocking my 29 gallon. This is what I may go with. Any concerns? 5 x Gold Tetra (Already Have) 1 x Bristlenose Pleco (Already Have) Planning to Add: 5 x Neon Tetra 1 x Rainbow Shark I added the rainbow shark because they are kind of loners, and I like...

So when doing water changes, I found that my cold tap water, isn’t so cold. Down here in Texas, our water pipes are run outside, and with the warm Texas weather, hard to keep cool. When refilling my tank, the tap water is coming out at about 85 degrees. I do fill a five gallon bucket and add...

I am looking to feed my Tetras and pleco something a little different than flakes and wafers. What would be better, brine Shrimp, or Blook Worms. Will Cliff (My pleco), munch on a cucumber if I toss that in there? Hes a bushynose pleco.

So I have been posting and asking questions and getting wonderful feedback from everyone. I am still doing my fish-in cycle, but I thought I would at least post a couple of pictures of my 29 Gallon tank setup. Let me know what you all think.

Ok, so I took the plunge, and decided to do a fish in cycle. My numbers are off the charts! I have been doing regular 50% water changes every day for a week. I was only doing a 20% every other day. Been three weeks now. I have 5 tetras in there. Its a 29 gallon tank. My PH level is reading at...

So my 29 gallon is just about ready for me to begin planting. I know nothing about plants, but I do know I want a very thickly planted tank. I am also going to have some driftwood and am going to build a little cave out of rocks. What would all of you recommend for plants? I do what some taller...

Hello all! I am new to this forum and am so glad I found it! I have been scouring the forums for hours just getting as much information as I can get my hands on. I have had some 10 gallon tanks before, but apparently, I did nothing right because they never lasted very long. I consider myself a...
